im learning python in FCC right now. I jumped right into trying to program to start with and kept trying to start up by reading in the docs or following along with a tutorial on numpy or scipy... FCC is taking me through the logical thinking skills i need and making me solve problems and get together the fundamentals of coding.... ive been off and on trying to learn how to code for like 2 years now, given ive been through a lot with life struggles, but i kept searching and searching for a way to learn this stuff and never did anyhting about DSA or Problem-solving or logical thinking come up. I wonder why? All of the "I feel stupid and Am I just not meant to Code" posts i see in forums never mention or question if you know the fundamentals or even know where to get them from or that you need them. I wonder why Is that?

I hope this is a valid question that some more experienced people can answer and i hope it puts the right words and questions in other new learners minds

#im honestly hella confused, it gives everything its supposed to and pulls up the right respose. I think it wants something specific that im  not aware of. 

full_dot = '●'
empty_dot = '○'

            elif strength + intelligence + charisma != 7: #pulls correctly
                return print('The character should start with 7 points')   
            else:#pulls correctly......i dont get it
